EVALUTATION:

Now I have tested my game, I am looking at how to make my game better. First of all, I need to work on making the food fall from the sky without interruption and to make the basket bulge and then turn to its normal state. Also, I need to find out how to make the background change when the game is over, and make it say GAME OVER when the player has lost. To make my game error-free I will need to work on all of the things I have mentioned and to make my game better and more interesting I need to create more food and at least one costume for all of them and make them fall at different times and at different paces. I need to program my game to end when the player has let food touch the ground a specific amount of times.

TESTING

Here are the tests:-
Test 1: The game must be error-free.

There are errors in my game. The biggest error is that my food doesn't repeatedly fall from the sky.

Test 2: The game must have the meaningful variables of the game score.


 
Test 3: The game must be documented well in my blog so that I can come back to it at a later date to make alterations to it if needed.

I don't know how to do this but I will find out and try it later.

Test 4: Each collecting sprite needs to have 3 states:- normal, bulging, slim and named appropriately.


 
Test 5: The program has to keep a score of all the collected sprites.
(See screenshot in Test 7)
Test 6: All the sprites have meaningful names.
(See screenshot in Test 7)
Test 7: At least 5 sprites.



 
Test 8: The food keeps falling instead of stopping.


This part of my game doesn't work. My food stops after it falls. I am currently working on this to make my game better.


 
Test 9: Background is drawn not copied and pasted.




Test 10: The baskets moves using arrows.

Yes, my basket does move correctly using arrows.

GAME TESTING STRATEGY & PLAN

I will test my game to make sure it works while I create it. I will also test it after I have finished coding to make sure it works fully as planned. I shall do the testing myself but I shall also ask ………..
to test certain parts of it. I shall be a test buddy for ……
Here are the tests:-
Test 1: The game must be error-free.
Test 2: The game must have the meaningful variables of ….
Test 3: The game must be documented well in my blog so that I can come back to it at a later date to make alterations to it if needed.
Test 4: Each collecting sprite needs to have 3 states:- normal, bulging, slim and named appropriately.
Test 5: The program has to keep a score of all the collected sprites.
Test 6: All the sprites have meaningful names.
Test 7: At least 5 sprites.
Test 8: The food keeps falling instead of stopping.
Test 9: Background is drawn not copied and pasted.
Test 10: The baskets moves using arrows.


TESTING
Add screenshots to each of the test items above as evidence that you have tested them. For each test, explain the various states of the program (e.g. show what happens when the score increases).

It is OK to include tests for the test items above that DO NOT work. Some parts not working are the normal part of the process. You need to be honest. Explain what you would do to fix it if you had more time

EVALUATE In your blog, evaluate how well your game works. What are its strengths? How could you improve it further if you had more time?
